As my first "real" job after college, I feel really grateful for all the opportunities I have had to grow, the people I have met and the connections I have made. It hasn't always been easy but it has been a great stepping stone...but honestly I cannot hide how happy I am to move on. Taking some time to focus on our new journey and nanny again is almost too good to be true. I just feel so lucky that I get to be doing something I absolutely love everyday.
This past weekend I visited with the family again that I will be nannying for. They have two girls (3 &1). Our visit was everything I needed to reassure me that I made the right choice. They are the sweetest family.
So on top of meeting with the family again, Jacob and I worked on our room at his parents house. It turned out really cute. We made it our own and actually hung pictures and everything. I love nesting, decorating and organizing. It was so strange how quickly a guest room we always slept in became "ours" in a matter of hours. I kinda love it.

our awesome friends got married.
they seriously threw one of the best receptions ever (I am still recovering/detoxing).
my dress fit!!! (& DID NOT rip).
my mother in law is awesome because she got me taco bell at 1 am--which is why I was alive and functioning the next day. no doubt.
andddd I even got two great runs in (an 8 miler and a 6 miler)... which were quickly proceeded by fro-yo & time with this cute guy.
Here are some more pictures from the wedding :)

ReplyDeleteOh and yay to nannying, wishing you all the best at your new job!
Thanks so much!!! :)
DeleteYour new room looks great! It is always important to have a space to call your own no matter where you live.
ReplyDeleteI hope that you love your new job! So exciting!
Thank you!!! I totally agree. I have no idea how long we are staying but it still needs to feel like home for awhile :)
DeleteEee! So exciting friend! You look so pretty in your pictures from the wedding. Do you have a tattoo on your wrist? I kinda saw it in the mirror pic. :) Yay! Life hanging out with kiddos (especially ones that aren't yours permanently haha) is so fun!! Can't wait to hear more!
ReplyDeleteI completely agree! I love kids especially the ones you can give back :) I can't wait to start!! I do have a tattoo. It is a cross with a design that incorporates two "J" s for my mom and I.
DeleteLet me FIRST off say how amazing your MIL is. I don't know if mine could stay up until 1 am, let alone get me Taco Bell. Your room looks so cute, and it's good to hear that you're getting settled. :)
ReplyDeleteI feel really lucky. Taco Bell equals LOVE in my book :)
